I mean like.. Guys.. I know it's ******* funny. Yeah. Fat people are ******* hilarious. But when they are jogging. Like jogging for real not running across mall aisle for more muh doritos, don't laugh or point them out or anything. They are trying to fix themselves. Don't encourage them. Just.. Leave them be.

Yeah a lot of people think it's a good idea to encourage them. It's not. They're unconfident and nothing external can change that. If you encourage them, they'll think it's sarcasm. On top of that, it'll tell them they look unconfident and need the encouragement.

At least, when someone encourages me in something I am not very good at/look funny doing that and it is not supposed to moke me look funny doing that I hate people encouraging me. I feel like a worse person and a lower form of life. I mean like,they can give you a little longer time to run a lap like once month but not everytime and not lenghten it by like 15 minutes. The people who get 'encouraged' like this either become too 'spoiled' or just feel bad. Trust me.

By encouraging them I meant the type of situation when a fat guy is running up the hill with a group of fit friends, one of them runs down and runs with him and keeps saying : You can make it bro, come on.
The good kind of support is when that fat guy runs uphill to catch up with them, they keep running and at the end of the track or somewhat they are running they just say goodbye to eachother and one of the guys says : 'Good job all of you guys, let's try harder next time.' These people who are, in this case, slower, aren't stupid and they get it when you just encourage them and **** on other guys who had to do the same **** as him/her. These people just want to fix them and be like the others. Why encourage only them and not the other people who made it too. I, myself used to be fat, I lost some weight, still working on it and I just hate when someone pays attention and encourages only me or the other slowest. The only time the one who is slower 'deserves' big encouragement when he/she succeeds on something big or on something he did on his own. Like black belt in karate or some **** . I may **** up everything by this post but nvm. I just want to say how I see it.

Saw a pretty fat dude at the gym 1 months ago before I left for cali for a months vacation on the treadmill and then he went to do some like 45 minute nonstop muscle training **** and I went up to him, patted him on the back and said, "You keep this up man and I'll be seeing you on the front of a calvin klein underwear package. Keep it going bro!" I saw him running and doing the same muscle routine for 90 minutes straight when I came back and he looked a good 15 lbs lighter and 25 lbs stronger. He recognized me and said, "Thanks for the motivation man... **** was tough for me to leave the house and come work out but you're the first guy friendly enough to actually believe in me. Thank you." I then spotted him on the bench press... feels good man

Actually, you should tell them that they're doing a lot of damage to their knees. If you're more than 30(or so) pounds over weight, you should do low impact cardio like walking to exercise. Running or jogging puts a lot of pressure on your knees and will wear away the cartilage, thus leading you to serious knee problems later on in life.

People 'should' do a lot of things. The last thing people want is a busybody telling them how they should be living.

I'm not saying you aren't right, but there is an endless list of things we shouldn't do.

Low impact exercise? So maybe the fat guy takes up cycling....but then someone else comes along and says, 'You shouldn't cycle! It can cause infertility and erectile dysfunction'. Swimming? No, long term exposure to chlorine found in swimming pools can cause lung damage, tooth corrosion and even cancer.

Maybe he should just hit the gym? Pump some iron. Inevitably, he'll have bad form, since even top experts disagree on proper form of some lifts. Not only that, lifting heavy weights increases the risk of eye problems like glaucoma and eye floaters.

No matter how you decide to live your life, plenty of people will find fault with it. And they'll be right. With medical studies to prove their point. And exercise is pretty much the best thing you can do. Dieting is 50 times more open for debate. Trying to get in shape? Whatever you eat, someone will, helpfully, point out it's wrong.

Go to two different personal trainers, each with four-year degrees in sports-science and they'll give you two different routines with two different diets.

when it comes down to it, disputes in fitness theories are mostly only intresting for people who are really bent on getting the absolute best of training. As long as you are not a bodybuilder, just do some proper exercise, reduce your calorie intake, eat well and healthy and you're on your way to a fit lifestyle.
